| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Vesti] Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the President's Office, claims that "the enemy's Kherson group is doomed." He expressed this statement on a new page of the "Diary of the War", which he maintains with the journalist Feigin. If the day before the adviser was stingy with regard to information on the Kherson direction, then on the last broadcast he devoted a lot of time to this topic. According to him, the battles for Kherson are still positional, but even with the Russians having a significant advantage in guns, artillery duels (this is how Arestovich defines them) are in favor of the defenders of Ukraine, primarily due to the training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, Western weapons are also important. "We cover them, they respond, but they do not respond very successfully. The Russians take it not with accuracy, but with density. And we, thanks to Western weapons and the artillery school. And we have each battery like a small reconnaissance complex, our artillery is much more effective. We make them very to strain a lot, although we spend one projectile on their 15," Arestovich noted. According to him, "five American Himars" will completely decide the fate of the battles for the Kherson region and, in particular, for Kherson. The fact is that the HIMARS MLRS installations provided by the States to Ukraine are even pointless to compare with Russian equipment ("it's like Mercedes and Zaporozhets," - the adviser says), so such a small number of these installations will suffice. Arestovich says that when the Armed Forces of Ukraine approach Kherson, the Russians will have to run "through only two lines that are there: through the Novokakhovskaya dam and the Antonovsky bridge." Accordingly, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will decide how exactly they will liberate the area: do not allow the enemy to cross "and kill everyone" on these strings, or let them come out and press further. "But in any case, the city will be liberated. They are thinking of being on the defensive by mid-August. But we will not let them be on the defensive and we won't let them hold a referendum either," the adviser said. Arestovich also confirmed the information previously voiced in the Ministry of Defense that Lisichansk in the Luhansk region was not captured." About 45 days ago, the Russian side, represented by a well-known tiktoker (Kadyrov), claimed that they had taken Severodonetsk as well ... They are not in the center of Lisichansk, they did not take control of it. They are on the southern outskirts of Lisichansk. They try to fight, they fall under the distribution of our troops," Arestovich said. True, he noted that "the situation is critical": for the first time, the enemy managed to cross the Seversky Donets from the north and find himself in Privolye on the northwestern outskirts of Lisichansk. " Thus, the situation has become really very threatening. It will be resolved within a day or two," the adviser said. Around the same time, military commander Yuriy Butusov said that he was now with Ukrainian troops, who were holding the corridor from Lysichansk to Seversk. According to him, the Russians captured part of Lisichansk and it is from there that they show a video of the alleged capture of the city. However, the enemy failed to encircle the Ukrainian defenders, despite their efforts. " Our people are gradually leaving. The Russians are not able to prevent our departure," Butusov emphasized. |
